System and method for instantaneous power decomposition and estimation

A system for disaggregating and estimating power consumption of a plurality of electric loads powered by a single electrical outlet, said system comprising:

• a processor including a routine;
• a current sensor cooperating with said processor to measure a plurality of samples for one line cycle of an aggregated current waveform for said plurality of electric loads powered by said single electrical outlet;
• and
• a voltage sensor cooperating with said processor to measure a plurality of samples for said one line cycle of a voltage waveform for said plurality of electric loads powered by said single electrical outlet;
• wherein the routine of said processor is structured to
• transfer the measured samples for said one line cycle of the aggregated current waveform and the voltage waveform into an aggregated voltage-current trajectory for said single electrical outlet, and
• provide an instantaneous decomposition of power consumption for a plurality of different categories of said electric loads from said aggregated voltage-current trajectory for said one line cycle.
